“Learning the tour dances,” Biles captioned the clip.

Owens’ Bears also play on Sunday, Sept. 29, during a home game against the Los Angeles Rams, marking a big day in Chicago for the athletic couple.
Earlier this month, Biles told PEOPLE that she was “most excited for the fans to see the best of both worlds” on the tour, given that it features “men’s and women’s gymnastics in one arena, at the same exact time, sharing the same floor.”
The 11-time Olympic medalist has also shown support for her husband during his latest NFL season. On Sept. 8, she shared her candid reaction to Owens scoring his first touchdown since joining the Chicago Bears, which took place during his team’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
“I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) at the time, responding to a message from Sunday Night Football on NBC, which asked her how she was “feeling” about the major play.

Owens, too, has supported his wife during her Olympic journey in Paris over the summer, as he took a couple of days off during his preseason training to watch her compete. As he told PEOPLE in July, it’s “super exciting” for him to see Biles perform at the highest level.
“It’s super exciting just because I get a chance to see all the work that she puts in prior to, and you know what? Everything she goes through and dealing with the media and everything, and she still goes out there and does it,” he said.
“It’s just impressive and goes to her training mindset and consistency,” Owens added. “That’s the biggest thing is how consistent.”
